ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS - We read Chapter 1 of Hatchet in class today. Tomorrow we will complete an analysis of this chapter (plot, setting, character traits, etc) and begin reading Chapter 2.
Homework: 1) Return conference forms and 2) complete any Latin America map work not finished in class.

Resource: A great website for reading non-fiction is www.newsela.com. This site has news articles about a wide variety of topics and you can choose articles based on your child's Lexile score. Our class code is 827EV7.
We are already off to a fabulous and productive start to the new year!
